Travelbug: Stockholm and Filippa K

We may have just got back from sunny LA, but we’ve got a new destination on our brains.

Stockholm may not have the same weather benefits of California, but what it lacks in tendencies towards the tropical, it makes up for in being effortlessly cool.

Stockholm’s cool-factor is way up there. Boasting amazing hotels, restaurants and insane shopping destinations, Stockholm is the perfect destination for the coolest of the cool.

Take for example one of our new lines, Filippa K, is a relative small company with only 200 employees, the brand is sold worldwide with their base being in the aforementioned “Cool Central”, Stockholm. They’ve been in business for over 20 years and earned its stripes by marketing stretchy jeans and simple, well-made basics with details that make the product stand out.

We’ve acquired some of their amazing leather pouches and tops so comfy you won’t want to wear anything else.

We’re also loving Stockholm for its focus on the well-made and unique in their buildings and activities.

Hotels like Ett Hem, (above) described as a “…private house and garden in the centre of Stockholm that has been created for people looking for something more personal than a luxury hotel.”

Or there’s B.A.R. Restaurant that Elle Decor called, “A hot spot [in Stockholm] where the emphasis is on the freshest seafood and steaks.”

Stockholm is a mecca of trendy restaurants and hotels which puts this Scandinavian city on the top of our “Places to visit” list.
